In a fiery response to recent comments made by fellow Nigerian singer, Brymo, Grammy-winning artist, Burna Boy has ignited a heated exchange, shedding light on a rising rivalry within the country’s music landscape.
Burna Boy took to his Instagram story today, Monday, April 8, 2024, to address Brymo’s assertions, asserting his dominance within the industry. With confidence, Burna Boy declared that his stature had grown so immense that rivals were resorting to any means necessary to provoke him. The Grammy winner did not mince words, criticizing Brymo’s musical style as “Yoruba proverb music.”
In his words, “At this point, they do and say Anything to get at the KING. werey dey sing Yoruba proverb music for us. When K1 and Saheed Osupa dem still dey carry us trabaye.”
The clash between Burna Boy and Brymo stems from Brymo’s remarks during an interview with skit maker and YouTuber, Isbae U, where he claimed Burna Boy had taken a subtle dig at him in one of his songs. Brymo’s refusal to acknowledge Burna Boy in his own music and his assertion of personal value prompted Burna Boy’s swift retaliation.
The exchange between these two prominent figures has captivated fans and industry insiders, sparking fervent debate and taking center stage in the Nigerian music scene.
As the feud continues to play out on social media platforms and beyond, observers are eagerly anticipating the next move in this unfolding saga, which promises to reshape the narrative of Nigerian music.
